I think what would Andy have said
He'd probably say you think too much
That's 'cause there's work that you don't want to do

Work, the most important thing is work”

But life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living

No not much, not much at all

What's good?
What's good?
Not much at all
Life's good-
But not fair at all

No one can find his head
It's been missing now for weeks
But no one noticed it
He had seemed so fit
And I'm sick of it
I'm sick of you
